    Listen to your body. Nothing wrong with rest days if you need them.

    Do what feels best for you. I have a right knee injury and some days I focus more on other exercises if it's bothering me. I feel better flung to the gym every day, but if I just couldn't I would listen to my body. You know yourself best!

    Since you haven't been exercising much, why don't you build up gradually and see how your body responds? Start with 30 min 3x week.

    Listen to your body.it will tell if you need to rest. I usually do 5days x60 mins intense activity, and usually 2 days some activity like walking dog or going for slow walk. Exercise has been my stress reliever and recovery from depression. So I know I have to move every day.

    Stick to your calorie goal. You aren't going to make any difference to your fitness level in a week so go easy, but move, and enjoy your vacation injury free.

    Once you return get back to your deficit and build your exercise gradually. Eat back your exercise calories if you are using MFP, it is the way it was designed, and you need the fuel for a happy healthy weight loss.

    Cheers, h.
